How to survive the flight to Mad River?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Mad River could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mad River?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Mad River, here you come:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Sharp or pointed items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
